I have been so deep in thought today carrying on my regular routine was quite difficult...
I have been as so many of us do, pondering what is to become of this ghastly mess we have made of our once so beautiful world.
In a discussion earlier this morning of the sad situation in the Korea's, both equal in the eyes of the Lord..I struggled to make sense of it all as I so often do.
I wondered what it is that brings people, any people whether it be a political figure or a group of hate filled rebels to make such poor and tragic choices. The battle of good and evil comes to mind when I allow myself to go as deep as I did today. Clearly a Somali in fear of their lives and constant persecution does not ask for this plight, somewhere back in time his circumstance was determined by the actions of other men.
Before long I am on my knees as I must trust my creator, My God with all my heart even when there is no balance seemingly anywhere in the world. The Lord assures me that we as a people have free will, we must all work our way back to him as he is the ultimate answer to all of these difficult questions. My Bible tells me so and my faith in the Lord, God is unshakable. My heart is comforted only here in my time with him today. As it will be in Africa...
From that amazing and bitterly painful Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of the dying child in Somalia with the vulture still and waiting to the rhetoric of a twisted and hate filled dictator, choices have been made along the way from ancestor to ancestor. We have exercised our free will... run riot.
Now for a moment imagine a different world, a world where people, all people love one another and work toward that greater good we all hear about. ALL of us...what a world it would be and surely our God would cry tears of joy rather than weep from the heavens above at how badly we have messed things up.
I don't have the answers, what I have is that Faith I speak of and my will, I choose to commit my mind and body as well as my heart and my soul to the task at hand and make whatever ripple in the pond I am capable of before there is no pond to stir...
God Bless Africa and God bless us all~

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable. always abounding in the work of the lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Corinthians 15:58
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 1:3-4: All praise to God…He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others…to give them the same comfort God has given us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth...that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will give you mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit.
And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love.
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love really is.
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.
Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God...He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. (Ephesians 3:14-20 NLT)
